To solve the given question, we need to analyze the assertion and reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that "The principle of superposition is not valid for gravitational force." We need to determine whether this statement is true or false. 2. **Principle of Superposition**: The principle of superposition states that the net force acting on a particle is the vector sum of all the individual forces acting on it. For gravitational forces, this means that if multiple masses exert forces on a single mass, the total gravitational force can be calculated by adding up the individual gravitational forces exerted by each mass. ...
